| 9 | This document aims to record the Perl source code releases. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | =head1 INTRODUCTION |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates. |
| 16 | Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\|...\)/ to |
| 17 | /(...|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\) |
| 18 | Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package. |
| 19 | Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls). |
| 20 | Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just |
| 21 | switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. |
| 22 | Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to |
| 23 | introduce everything else. |
| 24 | |

| 33 | |
| 34 | =head2 PUMPKIN? |
| 35 | |
| 36 | [from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, |
| 39 | David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot |
| 40 | potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | [begin quote] |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Who has the patch pumpkin? |
| 45 | |
| 46 | To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, |
| 47 | there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. |
| 48 | But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech |
| 49 | method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. |
| 50 | No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [end quote] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called |
| 55 | the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling |
| 56 | the strings?). |

| 782 | applied on top of the 5.003_07 (or whatever was before the 5.003_08) |
| 783 | added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and |
| 784 | changed lines for 424 kilobytes. Just the lines themselves are |

| 845 | =head3 The patch-free era |
| 846 | |
| 847 | In more modern times, named releases don't come as often, and as progress |
| 848 | can be followed (nearly) instantly (with rsync, and since late 2008, git) |
| 849 | patches between versions are no longer provided. However, that doesn't |
| 850 | keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is |
| 851 | shown in the table below. Unless noted otherwise, the size mentioned is |
| 852 | the patch to bring version x.y.z to x.y.z+1. |

| 881 | Jarkko Hietaniemi <F<jhi@iki.fi>>. |
| 882 | |
| 883 | Thanks to the collective memory of the Perlfolk. In addition to the |
| 884 | Keepers of the Pumpkin also Alan Champion, Mark Dominus, |
| 885 | Andreas König, John Macdonald, Matthias Neeracher, Jeff Okamoto, |
| 886 | Michael Peppler, Randal Schwartz, and Paul D. Smith sent corrections |
| 887 | and additions. Abigail added file and patch size data for the 5.6.0 - 5.10 |
| 888 | era. |
